The Pousada Mosteiro Guimarães is located on a hilltop overlooking the picturesque medieval town of Guimarães, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The pousada is a former Augustinian monastery built in the 12th C. that was built by Teresa, the mother of King Afonso Henriques. It is one of the most impressive hotels in the Pousadas group, and was awarded the coveted Europa Nostra prize for its renovation and restoration. The town is considered the “Cradle of the Nation”, as it was here that the country’s first king, Afonso Henriques, was born and established the first Portuguese court in the 12th C.
